Xiao Yue walked out of the house and saw Zheng doing needlework in the yard, she walked over and shouted, "Mother." ”

Zheng looked up and saw that his eldest daughter hurriedly put down the clothes in her hand, touched her daughter's head, and asked, "Yue'er, do you feel better?" Why don't you lie in bed? ”

"Mother, it's okay, I've been lying down for so many days, and my body is getting more and more uncomfortable."

Zheng scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, how can it be uncomfortable to lie down? You girl. ”

"It's true, by the way, mother, dad and younger siblings?" Xiao Yue felt her mother's love, and found that there was only the Zheng family in the family, so she asked.

Zheng looked at his daughter with a smile on his face and said, "Your father and Chun'er went to deliver furniture to others, and Xing'er went to the river to wash clothes." ”

"Where's Natsu?"

"Xiao Xia went to read with Yang Xiucai."

"Oh." Xiao Yue knew Yang Xiucai, he was the only talent in the entire Linshui Village, so everyone called him Yang Xiucai, he had always wanted to take the test but failed repeatedly, and then simply gave up.

Usually teach children to read and write in the village, because there are few people in school and Yang Xiucai only teaches children occasionally, so there is no school to open the school, so naturally it will not be restricted.

But the adults in the family of the children who followed him to read and write were not happy, and usually whatever was at home would be sent to him, so Yang Xiucai spoke very weightily in the village.

Zheng looked at Xiao Yue for a long time, and said hesitantly: "Yue'er, my mother has something I want to discuss with you." ”

"Mother, say it!"

"That's right, you also know that you haven't been filial piety when Changfa came back, so we didn't mention your family affairs, but it's almost a year now and your age can't wait any longer, so my mother means to find an auspicious day for you to do things!"

Xiao Yue was stunned and said stunned: "What are you doing?" ”

Zheng laughed out loud, stretched out his finger and poked Xiao Yue's forehead, saying, "What else can it be, it's the matter of the two of you getting married!" My silly girl. ”

"What? "Marriage" Xiao Yue was stunned, isn't it, she is about to get married just after crossing.

Zheng nodded and said, "That's right! You're already 17 years old and can't wait any longer. You look at the other girls are all married at the age of 16, before because Changfa went to the battlefield, and last year your grandmother died, when he came back, you didn't have filial piety, now you have filial piety, and the matter of marriage is going to be done. ”

Zheng continued to talk here, Xiao Yue's thoughts had already gone away. She now knows that she has a fiancé, Yang Changfa from the same village, 22 years old this year, and he rescued him when he fell into the river.

When Xiao Yue's grandparents first arrived in Linshui Village, they were yellow and thin, and they were penniless, but Yang Changfa's grandfather lent them two thatched houses to live in, and also lent them food, so Xiao Yue's grandparents have always been very grateful to Yang Changfa's grandfather.

There is a reason why Xiao Yue married Yang Changfa, when Yang Changfa's mother gave birth to him, she almost died in childbirth, and then she gave birth to him desperately, but she suffered a lot of sins, so she never liked him.

When he was 3 years old, he caught a cold in the winter, but his mother held on to the money and refused to hire a doctor, and later his grandfather took him to his side and saved his life by inviting a doctor.

At that time, his grandfather lived with his eldest son, and he was afraid that his eldest daughter-in-law would have an opinion, so the old man found a vacant lot in the middle of the village and built three thatched houses, and lived with his grandson.

Xiao Yue's grandparents who had lived in it for a month came here, and the old man saw that they were pitiful, so he lent them two thatched huts, and lived together in this way.

Originally, the grandparents and grandchildren were old and young, and they couldn't do heavy work, but the arrival of this family of three just solved this problem.

Xiao Yue's father was already 21 years old at the time, and at this time the man could get married at the age of 17, Xiao Yue's father had a fiancée when he was in his hometown, and when he was about to get married in the coming year, his hometown suddenly suffered a major drought, and the family affair was delayed.

In the first year of the drought, the family ran out of food, and in the second year, people began to eat tree bark, and then people kept starving to death, and the girl did not survive the starvation, but because of the disaster, she was not in the mood to feel uncomfortable, but just wanted to live.

There was no rain for two years in a row, and there was no sign of rain in the third year, and the river, which had been quite deep, slowly turned into a small stream and then dried up.

The family had to leave their hometown and embark on the road of escape, stumbling, begging all the way, and it took more than a year to come to Linshui Village.

Xiao Yue's grandparents survived the winter at Yang Changfa's grandfather's house, and in the early spring, they settled in Linshui Village, and the village also gave 2 acres of land, because it was an outsider, so there was not much land.

Xiao Yue's grandfather carpentry work is good, at that time a carpentry shop in the town took a big deal, but because the carpenter master is short of manpower, so he is looking for carpenters everywhere, Xiao Yue's grandfather knew the news and found the door himself, and after finishing that time, he got 20 taels of silver.

After that, I bought tools and started to help others make furniture, and only half a year later I built a house by myself, moved out of Grandpa Yang's house, and later married Xiao Yue's mother to Xiao Yue's father.

When Yang Changfa was 7 years old, Grandpa Yang gave up his old face to ask his friend who was Orion to teach his grandson to learn hunting, and Yang Changfa followed the old Orion to start hunting.

When Yang Changfa was 15 years old, Grandpa Yang was no longer good, and before he died, he proposed to marry Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa, he was afraid that his second daughter-in-law would not care about his grandson, so he simply set a family affair for him; On the other hand, it is also to let Xiao Yue's father and mother help him take care of his grandson.

After Grandpa Yang died, Yang Changfa's father and mother let him move back home, because Yang Changfa at that time could already hunt and make money, 2 years later, the vassal king rebelled, and Yang Changfa inevitably went to the battlefield when he was conscripted.

The Yang family was eligible at that time, Yang Changfa's eldest brother and Yang Changfa, the two had to go to one, otherwise they had to pay 70 taels of silver, and they didn't have to think about it and knew that Yang Changfa, who was not loved by his parents, went to the battlefield.

Before Yang Changfa went to the battlefield, he found Xiao Yue's father and mother, and told them that if Xiao Yue and Lu themselves hadn't come back, they would let them find another person for Xiao Yue.

In the fourth year after Yang Changfa left, Xiao Yue's grandmother passed away when Xiao Yue and Lu were still a month away, and Xiao Yue had to keep filial piety for a year.

Zheng originally thought that his daughter was going to be delayed, and he was ready to hurry up to find someone for his daughter when he was out of filial piety, but Yang Chang sent it back, so naturally there was no need to find another person, so Zheng slowly prepared a dowry for his daughter.

Now that Xiao Yue is filial piety, he is not young, so the Zheng family wants to hurry up and let the two get married.

"Yue'er, Yue'er......"

"Ah, what?"

"What do you want? My mother has called you several times. ”

"Oh, I'm thinking about things, mother, what did you just say?"

"I mean, now Changfa is back, but it's not good for you to get married, let's mention it first!"

"Well, yes, mother, let's wait for their family to mention it first!" Xiao Yue wished that the Yang family would not mention it in her heart, because Xiao Yue didn't want to get married at all, this body was only 17 years old! It's too early to get married, it's best that the Yang family doesn't come.
